The tour covers the State Apartments, the King's Bedroom, and the Hall of Mirrors, with explanations about important figures such as King Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette, and key historical events that took place in the palace. After the palace tour, visitors have approximately three hours of access to the French Gardens. The gardens cover about 1,977 acres and include around 210,000 flowers planted annually. Visitors may explore the gardens independently or choose an optional guided tour. From April to October, garden access includes entry to the Musical Show on weekdays or the Fountain Show on weekends. An optional full-day extension offers a guided tour of Marie Antoinette’s private estate and hamlet, which involves significant walking. The total duration of the tour ranges from about four to ten hours depending on selected options and traffic conditions.
